Beat a 50 year old out of shape Holmes. Prime Holmes would've exposed Mike worse than Buster Douglas ever did.

Holmes was 38 years old and only 3 years removed from being the heavyweight champion.  He was not 50 years old.  Tyson was in his late 30's, fat, and only fighting to pay his tax bills when he fought Lennox Lewis in 2002.  Nobody gave a shit about excuses then so I don't give a shit about Larry Holmes's excuses now.  I have no doubt that the 1988 Tyson would have demolished any version of Larry Holmes.

Holmes was still good when he fought Tyson but clearly past his best.
Holmes beat an old Ali. Tyson beat an old Holmes and Lewis beat an old Tyson.

Tyson was on prescription drugs and drinking living the party life by the time he fought Buster. I will give Buster this. He fought the fight of his life. Remember his mother died right before the fight. Buster gave it his all. Regarding Larry Holmes being 38 in boxing is really old.  It's not bodybuilding.

He was Cuban. So, like, that's 151, give or take?

Exactly, In his prime Tyson would have had his hands full with Holmes.
